Hope it's as simple as a warped head. Would be nice to get the supersonic head machined since it is a better head, but you have a few options from the other engines. Probably a good idea to do a quick spot check on the block as well while you're at it. Swap heads, put it back together, then you can actually drive it!
Good to see you back on the jeep
thanks, lots going on in life at this point makes it hard to get out there.

I am hoping so.
Did you soak your bolts beforehand?
